ForsakenRO needs your help!
The server's Paypal account was closed and thus we lost access to all of our funds. So we've decided to refund the donations we've received from everyone in the past two months. In return, we're asking for everyone to donate to the server again. We have hefty monthly bills we need to pay in order for the server to continue running, so if you enjoy playing here please show your support! We really need everyone's help to ensure the future of Forsaken.

Since our Paypal was closed, we've set up a new donation system using AlertPay. It is basically the same as Paypal; in fact, we feel that you will find it is actually better. The new donation system and shop is accessible at http://forsaken-ro.net/rewards/.

Thank you for your continued support,
The Administration of Forsaken Ragnarok Online.

Introducing the New Guild Hideout!
After a long wait, the Guild Hideout is finally being released!
Every 2 weeks, there will be an auction on the forums for the Hideout. Guilds will compete against each other, offering bids over a 24 hour period. To bid, you need to post a screenshot of your offer (in donation coupons). The guild with the highest bid wins! Once the auction is over, the winner will contact a Senior GM or Admin to receive the pass.

Also, for the bidding process, a new WoE drop was added. The Badge of Honor has the chance to drop at 0.4% from any castle. This will increase any bid you make on the Guild Hideout by 50% (i.e. You bid 200 coupons with the Badge, your total bid is 300). Make sure that, if you choose to use your Badge, you include it in your screenshot!

The Guild Hideout has a lot of awesome features, including:
- Full healer and buffer
- Disguise NPC
- Private PVP Room
- An NPC in Forsaken City that allows the owner of the pass to have their entire guild teleported in front of a castle (it doesn't count against an Emergency Call!)

HEY YOU! GOOD JOB!

Like the way you used zodiac symbols for the zodiac aura. Real nice. /no1

[-R e i]

Where can I rent items? Because I want to rent now.

And yes, where is the new patcher skin? o.o

My bad. :)

ONIGIRI?!?!?! :O HEY ONIGIRI(IF YOU READ THIS) DO YOU KNOW KENSHN111?

WAIT! THEY'RE LOWER HEADGEAR?? ISN'T THAT A BIT OP?

[Barbie]

HEY YOU! GOOD JOB!

I chose to rename the aura, but I didn't make it... I just recolored it. Onigiri originally made the sprite. :] It's pretty neat though, it sparkles when you walk too!

Also, -R e i, it gives the coords for the NPC to rent items in the preview about it. He's in Fcity, near the stylist.

Edit: Forum~ - Yeah, I noticed that too. It's a mistake, and it's being fixed now. The Zodiac Auras are meant to be equipped as a middle headgear.

Wow, this is amazing but..

This will increase any bid you make on the Guild Hideout by 50% (i.e. You bid 200 coupons with the Badge, your total bid is 300)

I'm not good at maths but...

[-R e i]

Wow, this is amazing but..

I'm not good at maths but...

Your 2,000 coupon offer becomes 3,000. You give the badge plus 2,00 coupons instead of 3,00 coupons.

[-R e i]

Yo, need help in the concentrated speed potion thingy..

Oh! I think it's 15806!

Edited June 2, 2010 by -R e i

[Genesis]

15806 is the item number.

[» Pat]

LOL, I DID SAY I'M NOT GOOD AT MATHS.

[-R e i]

So I can't turn 15806 into tickets? D:

[Adum*]

- Added Activity Reward System.

whats that? lol

Great update btw. Though i am sadden to hear about the server's condition. >:

[supream]

for the guild hideout whats to stop people from telling others the password? also, ive been in there and gotten those buffs will this really be fair for woe and even for pvp for that matter for people just to get those buffs and fight people without them. when i got those buffs it took 6 people to kill me.

[-R e i]

Whoa, what kind of buffs are they O.O!?

And yeah, bump on Adum's question... what is the activity reward thingy?

EDIT:

Also, I don't understand the purpose of the rental items... why would anyone waste coupons on those when you can save up and have a permanent weapon for yourself? Maybe I'm not reading between the lines or something, but I really don't get it.

It's an actual ticket now, not a password, the guild leader can recall the entire guild to the hideout using the Butler NPC. (Does not consume an e-call). The guild leader is the only one that can have it. You cannot trade the pass.

The rent weapons are better than the standard elite weapons, some people want that edge in WoE/Wars. The buffs have been modified down; if they remain overpowered we will modify them some more. =]

So basically, a player can't enter any time they want?... and a player can only go inside the guild hideout when the guild leader summons them?

EDIT:

Regarding this, I actually have an idea (if this isn't already what it does).

What if the Butler NPC worked like the WoE flags. The guild that "owns" the guild hideout can have its members be warped inside the hideout just like when during WoE, when a guild controls a castle, only their respective members can be warped to a shortcut inside the castle. Then, respective guild members would be able to warp inside freely and foreign guilds wouldn't be able to enter.

Ahh, I guess the rent items have some sort of reasoning behind them. If anything, I would just be worried about decarding the weapons before my cards disappear...

Yupe, only when the guild leader summons them. We might add something for a work around that at a later time but for right now; only a guild leader can recall you into there. it has a PvP room, disguise NPC, buffer, broadcaster, etc. There is also a NPC in Forsaken City that allows the owner of the pass (NOT the guild leader) to warp their entire guild right outside the Castle (does not waste an e-call) this allows for tactical insertions without the guild leader leaving his guild and giving them orders prior to the being recalled.
